Director's Quote:
The subject of my new film falls in line with the work I started in 1998 with Kidnapped, my documentary about the Lebanese civil war.Here, I tackle the subject of the civil war by touching not on disappearance, but on return. Despite the gravity of its subject, the film offers a message of love and hope
